A review by jckmd
Batman: Zero Year by Scott Snyder

3.5

Pound for pound, might be even better than The Court of Owls Saga? This is the primary source material for the plot of The Batman, but where the movie is caught between its conflicting aspirations of noir pastiche and blockbuster hokum, this volume leans fully into the former and is all the more fun for it. This Riddler is much more entertaining than Reeves/Dano's off-brand Ledger Joker; I want to see more villains who are basically just accelerationist dweebs.
